The Earleigh Heights Volunteer Fire Company and Ladies Auxiliary of the Earleigh Heights Volunteer Fire Company regretfully announce the passing of Active Life Member, Chief Emeritus William C. Smith. |
|
|
Bill served Earleigh Heights Volunteer Fire Company for 55 years in
virtually every possible capacity. He served as Chief from 1969-1970,
1972, and 1975-1979. He was President from 1961-1962, 1967-1968, and
1971. He has continuously held an elected position within the company for
over 40 years. He received the President's Award in 1980 and 1994 and was Fireman of the Year in 1971. Bill was also an honorary member of the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company. |
"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of
little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved
poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked
appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always
looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose
life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."
